Major CYA coming up: Our judges work hard, they are trained specially, a computer backs it all up...yada yada yada This guy is spending a lot of time to tell us how *right* the judges are.

So, in other words, it's official....theft is legal.

I think this guy is from the International Skating Union (ISU). The IOC needs to step in here. Skating is being tarnished by this, but so is the Olympic movement.

The IOC runs the games, and I don't see why they can't overrule the ISU, and award a gold medal to the Canadians. Even if they let the Russians keep theirs.

All this predicated, of course, that the allegations of fixing by the judges hold up. There is just no way that the ISU can state, without reservation, that the result was correct when collusion between judges is proven.

In addition, the IOC should suspend figure skating from the next Olympics, giving the ISU a chance to apply for reinstatement once it has it's house in order. THAT would send a message.
